I soldered it together (the downside) and put it in the phone, but while putting connector 3 back (the flat ribbon cable), the clip seemingly disintegrated. So I ordered a new clip on eBay for $9 and it should be here shortly. I will write a guide for repair if I am successful.

Thankfully, Radioshack is two blocks away so I bought a 15/30 watt soldering iron, some thin .50 solder, and will make sure I don’t have caffeine jitters while I replace it.

If not, maybe I can review a repair service.
